.....SIGH!!! :^(

I was never one to get attached to the "tools of the trade" but this little 
bit of news brought me back 20 years and my first pro camera system.
2 OM1's, 2 OM2's and a bunch of lenses.  Small, light (even with drives) 
reasonable price and decent lenses.

Perfect for a young photojournalist ready to take on the world.
They earned me my first pay cheques and were my ticket to the world.

They would later be replaced by Leicas and Nikon F3's

I guess sentimentality is a sign of getting old.
